It’s kinda fun seeing where hotels pop up around Brooklyn, and we wonder how much location matters for out of towners looking for a place to crash on the cheap. We stumbled upon the Condor Hotel at 56 Franklin Avenue, between Flushing and Park Avenues. It’s on a residential block with not a lot going on in the immediate vicinity, and there’s no word yet on rates. The building looks nice enough, but they’re still working on the inside lobby so the interior is still up in the air. GMAP

  1. Too Cool: Hotels are only allowed in M zoned areas and some high density C zoned districts.

    As for “more f.a.r.” that is generally a myth. Sort of like in Soho with the Trump tower. It has a lower floor to area ratio than many if not most industrial buildings in the Soho/Hudson Square area. We unfortunately live in a world where people confused FAR with building height, let alone sky exposure planes.

    Regardless, this is a small building. Not sure what your point is with respect to this Hasidim hotel.
